A convention is an annual gathering of fans, collectors, and creators of various types of media. Common types of conventions spotlight toys, comic books, anime, sci-fi, and the like. These can range in scale from global to local.
Transformers-themed conventions have been occurring regularly since the early 1990s, and continue to grow in popularity. These usually feature various guests, including voice actors, writers, comic and cartoon creators, and Hasbro representatives. They also include a stunning array of vendors buying and selling Transformers (and other non-TF transforming-robot) toys from every part of the world.
Conventions also typically sell or distribute "exclusive" merchandise that is available only to attendees, including toys, comic books, artwork, clothing, and various giveaways. Said merchandise tends to be unique in some way, and is usually much harder to get after the convention.
